Q lounge closing at BKK. Where do J* max passengers go?

[medhead]

Thanks smit0847, I can feel your love and caring for fellow travellers.

I'd suggest the love is for the way Jetstar is only a qantas group airline when it disadvantages the customer.

QF WP SG and QC PAX on 3K out of BKK are eligible to use the CIP lounge but only when travelling on the QF coded flights! 3K codes wont get you through the door it seems...

Has anyone had any luck with the CIP lounge in BKK since the QF lounge closed, with their SG or higher status on a Starter Fare with Jetstar Asia (3K)?

Apologies for posting to old thread but I have a 3K flight booked for BKK-SIN in early April with wife and daughter and I was checking the lounge access page as posted above.

We are on the QF codeshare so as a Platinum I would be entitled to a guest in the BKK CIP lounge?

We also have a 3K SIN-BKK flight in late February before the Qantas lounge opens so I think no luck there.

3K pax (even with QF status) get to enjoy the delights of the terminal waiting area. Not even QF P1 status gets you lounge access

Which contradicts what the Qantas website states?

I've been looking for what the qantas website states about lounge access in BKK since Qantas closed their lounge there ... Couldn't find it initially.

Although they switched to the CIP Lounge in Nov 2015, when I flew QF24 in early 2017 the check-in agent wrote "Emirate Lounge" on the boarding pass.

So the CIP operator's child access rules apply.

(If EK lounge then no.)

My experience with EK is they don't even worry about the infant.

There is nothing I have seen so far on Qantas website that excludes CIP lounge access in BKK on 3K flight with QF codeshare. Infant will be ok.

 

[serfty]

Rules are specific for EK - children count as guest.

"Emirates lounge 0 to 17 years All children are counted towards guest numbers "

Now if a lounge attendant goes beyond that and permits access, then ok, but you cannot count on it as it's contrary to what is published.

If you have a QF flight number and a using the CIP lounge then the lounge operator's access rules apply.

When I was in BKK (travelled J) last July, the checkin agent gave me a choice of either Emirates lounge or Cathay lounge..

The 3K flight does not have business class.
